MVP

I don't like to brag
And I'm not really vain
But last night it was ME
Who saved our ball game.

Sorry. Been reading too much Dr. Seuss lately.

And yes. I saved the game. The first half we were down 0-1. Second half I took over goal-tending duties. We won 3-1. This victory was all me. Had nothing to do WHATSOEVER with the fact that my taking net released our fastest player out onto the field and the guy who scored two of our goals showed up at the start of the second half.

Nope. All me. It was the spectacular diving saves. The penalty kick showdowns where I intimidated the opposing players. Brilliant recoveries from shots rebounding off the pipes. Taking out their star forward in an almost bloody tangle of limbs as he raced towards me all alone.

Okay. I touched the ball once. And it wasn't even a close call.

The highlight of my evening was standing up after putting my cleats on and discovering I had been sitting on the dried-out remnant of a frog. Ick.

Tonight's another game. Thank to The VP for leaving the convertible at home! Note to VP: I'm going to try and tie your mph record from the stop sign on County Road 6 to the first mailbox. 96 was it? Piece of cake.

More later if The Governor decides to take a nap. Have a great Friday.

Just read about your saving the same. Maybe you really saved it because of the fraternization with the enemy ("intimated" the opposing player). Most goalies would have just "intimidated" him/her.

All right. If you're going to be the grammar troll...

Unfortunately for me, Moveable Type doesn't have spell-check.
